For some, it may only be a nuisance; for others, nasal congestion can be a source of considerable discomfort. Medical writers have established four main causes of nasal obstruction: infection, structural abnormalities, allergic, and nonallercic (vasomotor) rhinitis.
Sinus congestion is uncomfortable for infants and worrisome for parents. It is caused by the inflammation of the nasal passage lining. The congestion leads to headaches, difficulty breathing through the nose, sneezing, coughing, and watery eyes. Congestion can be due to allergies, the common cold, and other illnesses.
